[ have had very few responses
yet to my call for this organiza-
tion, but feel no disposition to
give it up. As far as [ have met
people on the streets and spoken
to them, it has seemed quite en-
couraging, and [ have enrolled a
score or more names in that way.
By taking time to confer about it
and digest the subject, | think we
may make as good q beginning as
any | have ever known.
After some travelling and good
deal Of reading l have made up
my mind that this is nearly as
good country to grow fruit in,
except peaches, as l could select.
We have passed through the re-
cent test, winters and droughts,
with comparatively little damage.
BY figuring up my record, l find |
have replaced less than ten per
cent of Ben Davis in the last five
or six years, including draws
where where | hesitate to replant
without undertaking, while of
other varieties l have replaced
nearly twenty-four per cent. And
such occasional losses will always
occur, evenin the mildest winters
so that their severity can only be
charged with a very small per cent.
